By faulty do you mean the Unlawful APT 1 rules which have been declared Null and Void

I think we all agree that City won on just 3 points regarding the APT rules prior to November. We can also agree that the IC have said those 3 points are sufficient to makes those rules Null and Void. So up until November 2024 APT rules did not exist except as a concept. City don’t think the...

The point is lawyers will use every argument to try and win a case. They know many might be weak or spurious provided they get the big hits in. I think City wanted the rules in their previous guise deemed unlawful which they got which is a huge win. If they win the APT 2 case then that will...

I don’t think anyone is claiming that APT rules should not exist but that they must be lawful. Up to November 2024 they should not have existed as they were unlawful unfair and so are null and void. We await the IC verdict on whether the rules from November 2024 are lawful. What seems to be...

Surely the point is the IC have said the APT rules up until November 2024 are Null and Void therefore shoukd not have existed. Therefore any decisions taken by the PL using those APT rules are therefore also Null and Void. So if any club can show that any sponsorships were reduced or refused...

I am sorry City don’t seem to do things in an underhand My take is we offered a fair price they then got greedy so we told the player the deal was off. The player and the agent have then said stuff that we will cancel our contract and therefore become a free agent. Not sure what anyone has...

The question i would like answering is why did the PL deliberately exclude Sharehokder loans at the outset which the tribunal said was the case? The answer to that question could open up a huge mess of trouble with potential actions of collusion and/or corruption. As i understand it the PL use...

Why is no one asking who drafted up the unlawful amendment? If it was the premier leagues lawyer Bird and Bird who coincidentally are Arsenal's lawyers then sure questions need to be asked as to their competence. Funnily enough i believe it was Bird and Bird who investigated City and raised...

Having read the report my tuppence worth. City lost some procedural arguments as to whether the Regulatory procedures within the PL had been fair and timely. However read from 161 to 164 on the big issues City have won the big ones. If you want a football analogy the PL won some free kicks...

The point about APT is they have nothing to do with market value. What they affect is whether an owner is deemed to be an Associated Party to a sponsor. With the implication that an individual in the UAE is associated with all companies in that area and therefore open to more scrutiny and...

So if that is true hypothetically if a goalkeeper kicks the ball and it stops on the penalty spot and a forward who was offside in the opposition half runs to the ball and touches it (all other players having not moved) then a free kick would be awarded on the penalty spot?

Stefan do you find it strange that the issues with the United finances seems to be being ignored by the media and how would anyone get the PL to investigate the matter?

A snaking queue had formed off Sixth Avenue and down 47th Street, towards Nintendo’s flagship store. Those at the front arrived at 3am and, around seven hours later, New Yorkers were stopping to ask what the wait was for. The line was not for a new video game but to be the first inside a...

I think this is the point though. For American owners don’t think long term and are out for short term profits. They see the money and think it will always be there. They don’t understand that the money came from the ability to attract the best players. By putting a cap on the money will...

As has been mentioned the words were written in a legal submission presented by our legal team. There is no context to the words used and to argue that a legal submission needs to be put through a PR company in order for the wording to be checked as the submission will be leaked by the PL is a...

The Liverpool fans really are a wierd bunch. You might have expected that they would be the most sympathetic to our situation. For here we have a club accused of something that they deny and they have had to provide the evidence to an independent enquiry whilst everyone else claims they are...

Arsenal have gone from hating Stoke to being Stoke.

The issue with these rules is that they have solely been introduced to stop anybody taking the place of United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs we managed to do it just but that is it. I have seen comments in this thread about “stuff Forest with their reckless spending”. What’s reckless...
